Emissions Management

Minimizing Emissions
We’re committed to reducing the GHG and methane emissions intensity of our operations.

In 2022, we made reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) and methane emissions intensity, consistent with the Paris Climate Agreement objectives. We exceeded our near-term targets for 99% gas capture and 40% reduction in our GHG emissions intensity compared to our 2019 baseline. We are on track to meet our 2025 goals to reduce GHG emissions intensity by 50% and reduce methane emissions intensity by 60%, compared to our 2019 baseline.

¹ All percentage reductions are relative to 2019 baseline performance. Emission estimates and baselines may change as EPA updates its rules for calculating methane and GHG emissions.
² Gas capture percentage: the percentage of volume of wellhead natural gas captured upstream of low pressure separation and/or storage equipment such as vapor recovery towers and tanks.
